Gateway Modbus MB3180 MGate Moxa

Features and Benefits

• Convert between Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU/ASCII
• 1 Ethernet port and 1 RS232/422/485 port
• 16 simultaneous TCP masters with up to 32 simultaneous requests per master
• Easy hardware setup and configuration

Introduction

The Moxa MB3180 is standard Modbus gateway that convert between Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU/ASCII protocols. Up to 16 simultaneous Modbus TCP masters are supported, with up to 31 RTU/ASCII slaves per serial port. For RTU/ASCII masters, up to 32 TCP slaves are supported. Moxa MGate mb3180 is designed for easy integration of Modbus TCP and RTU/ASCII networks. With this model, Modbus serial slave devices can be seamlessly incorporated into an existing Modbus TCP network, and Modbus TCP slaves can be made accessible to serial masters. The MB3180 offer features that make network integration easy, customizable, and compatible with almost any Modbus network. The MGate™ MB3000 gateways can effectively connect a high density of Modbus nodes to the same network.
